England have 2 points after 4 games. They have already lost 3.
They can earn 12 points maximum. Their NRR is -1.248.
It is unlikely for them to reach SA/India/NZ/Aus now in terms of NRR. Let's see.

I also think Aussies should beat NZ.
They are scheduled to face other this Saturday. If Aussie end up winning, both teams will have 8 points after 6 games.

There is no way Pakistan can make the semis now, everyone is scoring 400 and winning by 150 plus, and we are not only not winning but any margin of win is so small that surely NRR will kick us out if by miracle we show any spine in remaining games.

If England beat Australia, that doesn't necessarily mean Australia will have 5 wins.
If Australia beat NZ, BD, and Afghans, they can have 12 points.

This is what I said if Eng beat Aus and Nz beat Aus , though its unlikely that Eng will beat Ind, so all in all Ind SA NZ Aus make the top 4
Lol india aus SA and nz all would try and tank games to find the right match up for the semis.
India - bad match up for aus and SA. But nz has the edge over them although india broke that recently so who knows.
SA - would want to avoid nz and india. They seem to favour aus. They have beaten them quite often and even have a superior h2h in odi against them. All happend post 2007.
Nz is a terrible match up for SA. Left arm swing bowlers tailing into their players. Good spinner in santner. Also india is a tough match up. Bumrah siraj shami and kuldeep is a powerful unit. India also can chase.
Aus - in a ko they can beat anyone but india and SA seem to hold ans edge over them in recent times. In India aus will find it hard vs them but semis would be in wankhede. That pitch is small so game will be 50 50
Aus will rout nz. Nz is the easiest match up for aus.
I feel in kos aus would beat SA but SA does seem to have their number in odi.
Also quite frankly Ind has the ability to determine other teams rankings and and try to set up a sf against an opponent they prefer. But that is a very dangerous thing to do. Nz in 1992 wanted to play their sf in NZ and look what happened - Pak thrashed them. In a WC you just try to win every game irrespective of other results and just focus on yourself. If you meet Aus in a sf so be it..

Glenn Maxwell unleashed the fastest hundred in ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup history, building on a foundation set by David Warner’s own century to help Australia to a massive win over Netherlands.
The winning margin of 309 runs is the largest ever at a Men’s Cricket World Cup and the second largest ever in ODIs.
Warner and Steve Smith helped Australia make a strong start after opting to bat, with the duo helping post 66/1 after the first powerplay in Delhi on Wednesday.
And the Australian top order kicked on after that strong start to set up a large total, with Warner (104) forging solid partnerships with Smith (71) and Marnus Labuschagne (62).
The platform was set, but nobody could have predicted the extent of the damage that was to come, with Maxwell demolishing the Netherlands attack with a brutal display of hitting, registering by far the fastest-ever hundred seen at a Cricket World Cup.
Maxwell’s ton came from just 40 balls, nine faster than the previous best at a Cricket World Cup, and included eight maximums.
Bas de Leede fared the worst of the Dutch bowlers, conceding 115 runs from his ten overs, the most expensive figures in ODI history.
Netherlands set out to restore some pride in the second innings, but unravelled against a buoyant Australian bowling attack, who rattled through the batting line-up in just 21 overs.
Adam Zampa returned the best figures after the pace-bowling unit had dismantled the top order, with the spinner finishing with figures of 4/8 from three overs.
Zampa's haul saw him become the top wicket-taker at the tournament so far.
The record margin of defeat gives Australia an enormous net run rate boost as they strengthen their grip on a top-four spot in the standings.
Match 24: Australia beat Netherlands by 309 runs
Australia opted to bat first after captain Pat Cummins won the toss.
The management opted not to slot in opener Travis Head, who arrived in India earlier in the week, straight into the XI, and Australia were also missing all-rounder Marcus Stoinis, who had sustained a calf problem. Cameron Green took his place in the side.
Netherlands opted to stick with the same XI that succumbed to Sri Lanka on Saturday.
The Dutch started with spin right from the start after being asked to bowl first, with Aryan Dutt, the off-spinner, opening the bowling. Marsh decided to take an aggressive approach against him, smashing a fine drive through square for four, before a thick edge also found the fence, albeit a tad fortunately.
It was Warner's turn to go after Dutt in his next over, and the southpaw picked four straight fours, cutting, slapping, and bullying Dutt to give Australia the perfect start.
Netherlands found some joy at the other end when Marsh miscued a pull high, and holed out to Colin Ackermann for just 9. But the loss of the opener didn't dampen Australia, as Smith took little time to settle – hitting Logan van Beek and Paul van Meekeren for fours within his first three overs.
Three back-to-back fours from Smith in the 10th over ensured he quickly overtook Warner's tally, giving Australia a solid platform to build a big total.
Warner, who was sedate until then, soon moved up the gears, smashing Colin Ackermann and Vikramjit Singh for sixes in successive overs. He completed a fifty in the same over with a boundary.
Warner's innings wasn't chanceless, though, with the opener let off in the 17th over when Max O'Dowd missed a golden chance to run the batter out. He later survived a close call for a catch with Roelof van der Merwe grounding what appeared to be a sensational catch.
While Warner went on to plunder more boundaries, Van der Merwe had a redemption of his own, when he pulled off a brilliant reverse cupped take to send back Steve Smith.
Marnus Labuschagne copped an early blow onto the helmet off Logan van Beek, but soon found his groove, and raced to a run-a-ball fifty an over after he slammed van der Merwe for two fours and a six.
Netherlands found the breakthrough before the partnership could blossom further, with Bas de Leede using the scrambled seam and a tempting field to lure Labuschagne into a false stroke.
And Josh Inglis lasted just 12 balls as Australia’s innings faltered slightly.
Warner secured his second century in as many matches with a pull to the boundary, celebrating in trademark style.
The veteran fell just three balls later, angling a catch to fine leg to depart for a 93-ball 104, leaving the onus on Glenn Maxwell and the Aussie bowlers to make the most of the big platform they’d be given.
And Maxwell took full advantage of that platform and then some.
Chasing 400 to win against a bowling attack of the quality of Australia’s was always likely to be out of the Netherlands’ reach. But the first 11 overs saw any Dutch hopes of a morale-boosting effort with the bat blown away.
Max O’Dowd was the first to depart, cleaned up by Mitchell Starc for 6.
And Maxwell was back in the action with an inspired run-out to remove the likely Vikram Singh for a run-a-ball 25.
Content to sit in and get some time out in the middle, the Dutch run rate slowed.
But even the more conservative approach wasn’t enough to survive Australia’s pace barrage, as Josh Hazlewood had Colin Ackermann trapped leg before wicket for 10, and Pat Cummins removed Bas de Leede in the same manner for 4.
Mitchell Marsh got in on the act to remove both Sybrand Engelbrecht (11) and Teja Nidamanuru (14) and open up the tail.
And Zampa made short work of the lower order, twice taking two wickets in two balls to finish with brilliant figures and bowl the Dutch out for just 90.
Captain Scott Edwards was left stranded at the close on 12*, and will look to pick his players back up after the most bruising of encounters.
